Anticipate Wind-Related Congestion & Power Price Volatility

Accurate wind power generation forecasts and expert power market analysis

While wind is one of the fastest growing forms of electric power generation, it is also one of the most difficult to predict, making it a key factor in driving congestion and price volatility in many regional power markets. We partner with The Weather Company, an IBM Business, to cover this gray area by providing the most comprehensive ISO-level wind power forecasts available. We combine The Weather Company's cutting-edge weather models and accurate predictions of key meteorological parameters with our state-of-the-art wind power model to give you transparency into wind-driven congestion and its impact on prices.

Market Fundamentals Analysis: In addition to our meteorological forecasting, we review congestion, maintenance, cut-outs, and negative Day-Ahead pricing, which may prevent wind power from reaching the grid.
